SQUARE FOOT GARDEN RESOURCES
This was the inspiration and easy concept that moved our family to action a couple of years ago! It’s the best concept ever…go buy the book…really look through the website, the new and the old website…I guarantee you will look at gardening in a different light. Easy, enjoyable, delicious and good for the heart and soil!
Contact me for support and with questions!
The Square Foot Garden, Mel Bartholomew - http://www.squarefootgardening.com/
This is the method that we are implementing at 3 middle schools and 1 high school in the Fairfield Public Schools. Please contact us to learn more about these projects and if you are interested in how to get school gardens growing at your school, home or other community location!
If you are in the Fairfield area and believe in the importance and educational benefits of gardening, you can contact us to take a pledge to support these school gardens projects. Your pledge includes a personally signed copy one of Mel's The All New Square Foot Gardening Book and proceeds directly become seed money to keep our school gardens growing and to ensure funds for this and other books in the classrooms and media centers.
Perfect for an end of school year teacher gift, for the student who is involved in the garden clubs, and for the family who wants to start gardening and doesn't know where and how to start.
If you are interested, contact us at From Your Inside Out today!
